The incident (a DUI arrest) took place on August 1st, 2016 when Deputy Douche had arrested a man for a DUI in Ormond Beach, Florida. The defense attorney, Flem Whited (a well-known and universally respected DUI gladiator) requested, acquired and reportedly released the body cam video footage.

The footage shows Deputy Douche going through the arrested citizen's wallet, putting the wallet in an evidence pouch (with two c-notes visible) and then tossing the $200.00 cash into the trunk of his squad car.

Volusia County Sheriff Mike Chitwood reportedly called his former Deputy a "thieving idiot", stating that there were several complaints in recent months about Deputy Douche stealing money from the wallets of people that he had arrested.

Former Deputy Braman was placed on administrative leave last week but, just a few days later, on Monday, January 30, 2017, he formally resigned. In the interim the Florida Department of Law Enforcement is conducting what should prove to be a fairly simple criminal investigation into the allegations.
